I have for sale this nice 1977 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow purchased in Florida around 10 years ago. The body is in nice condition, it does have a small dent and scratch on the driver's rear panel (see picture). (damaged caused by 92 year old driver backing into barn who's license was taken away for medical reasons). Seller's daughter had her son cut a brake line so her father would not drive the car, he did, and caused the damage to the fender, thereby, resulting in the car being sold. I test drove the car for my father prior to purchase, it runs and drives fine. All the car needed was the brake line replaced. The interior shows typical wear and exposure to the Florida sun, leather is cracked and the driver's seat back panel on the left side is cracked open. The rest of the interior is shown in the photos. The truck lid paint is not two toned, that is water streaks from taking the cover off. The car runs and drives well, mechanic states it should have a tune up because this car was not driven much since it was purchased by the 92 year owner. It does have the usual RR exhaust leak, however, the exhaust does not look like it is broken, possibly a gasket under the car somewhere. The Michelin Tires are in nice shape, chrome is nice, headliner in good condition. The Rolls is a nice starter car or candidate for restoration if you want a very nice car in the end. This car is a nice daily driver with a few dollars invested. My father purchased the car last year, since then, my dad has passed, so now I am selling the car... I found out from his friends that his dream was to have a nice looking blonde from Hooters sit in the back seat of the Rolls wearing only a mink coat, nothing else... Keep dreaming.. I have the opened signed title, ready for the "NEW" owner's signature. The Rolls shows a recent N.Y.S. Inspection indicating that it passed all safety requirements for this state... Beyond what I have told you, I do not know very much else, the car has been sitting on a plastic cover and has a car cover on it in my yard, Dad, never drove the car. I also have another of his Rolls (1979 Silver Shadow) to sell after I sell this 1977 black Rolls. Call Joe at 585-797-7613 from 12 noon until 11:00 PM daily ONLY....

BMW bringing 9 Series concept to Beijing
Tue, 08 Apr 2014It appears that BMW is ready to take another step upmarket with a new concept flagship luxury sedan at the Beijing Motor Show at the end of April. The showcar is said to preview the company's rumored 9 Series, a sedan that would be positioned against top trims of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, like the rumored S600 Maybach.
According to Automotive News Europe, the concept sedan wears styling language adapted from the curvaceous BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe (pictured above) shown at the 2013 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance in May. It rides on BMW's new, modular platform - codenamed G11 - for the company's largest cars, an architecture also expected to be shared with the next 7 Series and future Rolls-Royce vehicles. It's rumored to bring the weight of the 7 closer to the 5 Series, which would be several hundred pounds lighter when comparing the base models of both current vehicles. We spotted the next-gen 7 Series testing over a year ago, and both it and the 9 Series are expected to go on sale in 2016.
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no official information about the concept. "We don't have any official news yet on anything in Beijing," Julian Arguelles, BMW USA spokesperson, tells Autoblog. However, it's heartening to think that BMW might be adapting the gorgeous shape of the Gran Lusso for production.
Ugur Sahin returns with Rolls Royce Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe II design
Sat, 15 Dec 2012The "Round Door" Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe (inset) is a magnificent black beast of a car (and you can see it at the Petersen Automotive Museum for a limited time) as well as a mystery: designed by the Jonckheere Works in Belgium in 1935, all records for the one-of-a-kind coupe were destroyed in World War II, so no one knows who designed it or who commissioned it. What remains of the original coachbuilding company now makes bodies for cars and buses, and has asked designer Ugur Sahin to reinterpret the most fabulous car from its history.
We've written about Sahin often before, recently about his Corvette-based Anandi being shown at Top Marques Monaco and going into production. For a man who favors long hoods and short bodies, this particular Rolls-Royce couldn't be better. Sahin says the word "Respect" guided his lines for the 77-year-old car, the most apparent changes being the front fender treatment, the headlights dropping into the fenders, and the serious downsizing of the fin at the rear. Sahin says that there are talks with potential investors about building a one-off.
You can find out a little more about it in the press release below, and check out the gallery above of high-res images for every angle.
Grey Poupon's Pardon Me Lost Footage ad airs during Oscars
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Those of you that took our tip and tuned in for last night's Academy Awards may have caught the latest iteration of the famous Grey Poupon commercials, featuring a pair of Rolls-Royce sedans and their condiment-loving stewards. The update to the 1981 commercial was only shown in part on television, however, as the mustard company directed viewers to its website to see the entirety of the Lost Footage spot. Of course if you didn't bother then, you can just scroll down to see the full-length two-minute commercial here.
As you're viewing, note that the Grey Poupon marketers did not, it would appear, get official sanction from Rolls-Royce this time around. While the Rollers in the commercial have all sorts of James Bond-like accouterments, they don't appear to have the official Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornaments, for example, and they have restyled lights and grilles. Check out the new spot below, and see if it stacks up to the iconic Pardon Me original.
